depends on your surgeon and if you are experiencing any complications. My surgeon did a complete panel including vitamin, cholesterol, CBC, glucose, etc at 90 day and will be doing complete blood work again at 6 months.
My surgeon does it at one month, three months, six months, and a year. Plus my PCP is running labs on at four months and ten months out. I feel like I'm not so much being medically supervised as medically stalked.
eta: I don't know the specific names/codes for the tests but I know they are looking at all vitamin and mineral levels as well as albumin levels.
That is a lot of bloodwork! :D
